Museum of South Texas History

I was pleasantly surprised by this museum. The staff in this place have a deep knowledge of the history of the Rio Grande Valley.

This is a great place for solo to family history buffs and they even have a great puppet show that also provides a nice story of a family that resided in the area.

What blew me away was the deep history of the indigenous people who resided in the area for generations and explored the people who tried to conquer or assimilate with them. Plus it also honors a Marine in one section of the museum that I encourage people to learn about.

While I could only be there for 2 hours, if you take the time to read through the displays, you will likely spend approximately 4 hours there as rushed to take pictures at the end to read later.
